When asked on a St. Louis radio show whether the Alaska Governor would be ready to run a company like Hewlett Packard if called upon, the top McCain aide says: "No, I don't."

Fiorina, the former Packard CEO, goes on to say: "But that's not what she's running for. Running a corporation is a different set of things."

Later adds on MSNBC: None of the candidates can run a major corporation -- including McCain, Palin, Obama, Biden -- because a career background in business is needed. Video here.
